The aviation industry is growing rapidly as one of the most dynamic and critical industries in the modern world, but this growth brings with it various safety issues. One of these problems is bird strikes, which pose a major threat to flight safety. Bird strikes usually occur during take-off and landing and can lead to engine failures, structural damage and, rarely, loss of life. This review article aims to address the physical, economic and environmental aspects of bird strikes and to provide solutions to mitigate the impacts of these incidents. Within the scope of the study, many academic literatures are analysed and conclusions are drawn on land management and ecosystem-friendly aviation practices in accordance with international standards. The paper aims to raise awareness on bird strike prevention by providing guidance to airport administrations, aircraft manufacturers and aviation authorities. It also emphasises the need to create an aviation ecosystem that is less damaging to nature. As a result, it is evaluated that strategies to prevent bird strikes will contribute significantly to the sustainability of the aviation industry as well as increasing flight safety.
